Spelling Speed Words Double Consonants


A couple of weeks ago I created a spelling game for my sweets to use that coincides with our spelling program (Zaner-Bloser Spelling Connections ~ AMAZING). Before I began creating my own stuff I searched all over TPT and TN looking for some materials that go right along with our spelling program and couldn't find anything. I try each week to create a game to help students simply spell the word and a game to help students identify patterns in the words and sort them accordingly. This week we began with an anchor chart with 3 words on. I had the students at the rug and read the words to them. I asked them if they could see any patterns in all three words. . . and they DID! I haven't quite taught a spelling lesson like this before and I am never going back to the old way ~ I loved it and my sweets LOVED it. Every time we identified a pattern we wrote in on the chart. Then to wrap it up I had them turn-and-talk to a partner and try to each come up with a word that fit the pattern. It was so much fun and then they were allowed to write it on a post-it and place it on the anchor chart. Honestly, I was a little disappointed that today in spelling there was no new skill just a simple review which they ROCKED. It's so true if you are excited about what you are teaching your students will be excited.

This took about 25 seconds to make before I began teaching it with the sweets!

Just wondering. . .
Does anyone else use Zaner-Bloser Spelling Connections (I use third grade in second grade)? 
How do you teach spelling?

Congratulations, this is a well-written post. I found this to be extremely helpful. Definitely, a large number of students pursuing their education in Australia struggle to complete their academic online finance assignment help precisely without the continuous support of their professors and mentors. This is where the online assignment help Australia service by the Myassignmenthelpau platform comes into the picture. You will get an opportunity to work with native experts who understand the referencing style, formatting pattern, and writing techniques accepted in top-class Australian universities, colleges, or schools.
